PEP9000

This procedure is used to update Main CPU Ver. 0521 and EDSP Ver. 11.54 flash
programming for FTDX9000 Transceivers that have already been updated to
PEP9000.

IMPORTANT: This procedure is only needed under the below conditions:

• Must have the PEP9000 logo sticker on the radio below the serial number label.

PEP9000 Logo Sticker

• Must have MAIN CUP Version 0505 or higher or EDSP Version 11.24. While holding the three

buttons [GEN]＋[50]＋[ENT] turn the radio on and read the 7 digits on the top line of the LED
display. See page (6) for more detail instructions. If the software version is not immediately
displayed, your radio has not been updated to PEP9000; you must have the radio updated. Please
contact Vertex Standard, Amateur Tech Support.

If your radio meets the above conditions you may proceed to update the Main CPU to V0521
programming and EDSP to V11.54.

We recommend installing the Flash Programming Software on a PC computer with Windows 2000,
XP or Vista Operating System; and use the CT-119 programming cable or 8-pin mini-DIN PGM-SW
(P0091526) and serial cable RS-232C, DB9F to DB9F straight cable.

NOTE: There are many USB adapters available; however some may not function with this software.
We recommend using the latest USB adapter driver software when available.

The update software is available from our website at http://www.yaesu.com. The CT-119
programming cable is available from your authorized Vertex Standard dealer. You may also order
by email to Vertex Standard parts department,

The software versions can be displayed on the radio
